Auto scaling difficulty W or L?

## 🎢 Auto-Scaling EQ Difficulty – Fun Feature or Revive Drain Disguised in a Nice Shirt?

So Kabam might introduce **auto-scaling Event Quest difficulty**, where enemies adjust based on your roster strength. On paper? Sounds fair. In practice? Might be the EQ version of *"you thought you were safe? Think again."*

Here’s why some of us are nervously eyeing our revive stash:

---

### 💪 1. Strong Roster? Great! Now Fight Thanos With a Jetpack

* You grinded Act content. You opened 7\*s. You maxed Herc, Hulkling, and Shuri.
* EQ: “Nice champs. Be a shame if... the defenders also scaled up.”
* In short, no matter how much you grow, EQ just grows with you—like an annoying sibling.

---

### 💊 2. More Chip Damage, More Mistakes, More Revives

* Longer fights + buffed enemy stats = more chances to get clipped by an unblockable node you didn’t fully read.
* EQ becomes less “how clean can I play?” and more “how deep is my revive stash?”

---

### 🧱 3. Progression Feels Like a Trap Card

* Kabam: "Build your roster!"
* Also Kabam: "The stronger your roster, the stronger the EQ enemies!"
* Wait… So the solution is to... not rank up? Is hoarding now meta?

---

### 🧠 4. Strategic Planning? Yeah That’s Gone Now

* Old EQ: “This boss has 150k HP, here’s a node map. Bring counters.”
* Auto-scaling EQ: “HP? Who knows. Nodes? We’ll surprise you. Counters? Hope they scale too.”
* EQ turns into a monthly game of **node roulette**.

---

### 💰 5. Revive Store = Open 24/7

* Players might feel pushed to farm more revives (hello again, 3.2.6) or look at those juicy revive bundles.
* Suddenly, EQ becomes less about progression and more about **resource management: the sequel**.

---

### 🎮 6. Skill Matters... Until the AI Says Nope

* You dodge perfectly, bait specials, land intercepts…
* But the boss has 350k HP and aggressive AI, and one slip = KO.
* GG, try again—with a revive this time.

---

### 🧪 7. Feels Like Lab Experiment: “Let’s See How Much They’ll Use”

* Instead of new mechanics or fresh ideas, EQ just gets harder based on who you are.
* It's like Kabam saying: *“You brought big champs to stomp this content? Let us gently punish you for that.”*

---

## TL;DR

Auto-scaling EQ difficulty:

* Makes content harder the better your roster is
* Increases revive and potion use
* Undermines planning, progression, and skill
* Feels like a **revive sink wrapped in a balance update**

We love challenge, Kabam—but we also love rewards for progression and clean gameplay. Auto-scaling might be trying to fix something that wasn't broken.

Let us rank up without getting slapped for it🙏

Chatgpt forgot to talk bout auto scaling rewards, or have you forgot to mention it in the prompt?

How about C. Wait until the content is actually out and trying it for yourself before making an opinion on it.

Usagicassidy

Bit silly to even pre-complain about this, as it seems like you're doing, when we've seen that when Kabam introduces major new modes or changes, they do so on a Trial basis and collect feedback and data (to say nothing about the fact that you didn't even mention scaling rewards)

Toproller89

I wish I could read

startropics

let's wait and see.

to me autoscaling doesn't add new nodes, just increases stats and stats alone shouldn't turn it into a revive fest, unless it's a massive increase, which it shouldn't be. i think they'll balance it right.

ItsClobberinTime

Blud's talking like EQ isn't a massive slog with outdated rewards at the moment... Anyways yes W no matter how you spin it, it was long overdue.

Totally forgot to mention it in prompt mate... LOL

Could have been better, if I used Gemini mate?

Agreed, but lately released new content doesn't help my paranoia

Let me fix something for you kabam is going to introduce auto scaling for both valiant eq and the elder difficulty there is no might they said it is coming

Yukzii_II

I would very much be in favour of scaling rewards else there is no point in extra difficulty which makes the rewards less valuable

Nah GPT Supremacy Gemini is virgin, GPT is chad

These kids today...
Does he understand that the rewards scale too? I'm completely confused by this post

Mate U mean chadGPT... LOL

For context, Valiant eq is fair now mate
Rewards decently

I wouldn't be thrilled to fight 15 defenders in a row with 5k% hp attack boost and when KABAM says auto scaling rewards, please refer to how they auto scaled revive bundle deal for eq exploration. Doesn't feel optimistic

JK_47

U wish LOL
Like how they scaled banquet july and cyber deals, or how they scaled revive bundles
But if you are optimistic, wish I had your optimism.

Agreed let's wait and see mate

spiderknight616

Any change in EQ is a W

Rayven5220

Are you paragon? This sounds like a paragon player's type of post. 🤣

captain_rogers

Autoscaling will be fair, I bet.

You missed the most important point in this long post, this new autoscaling difficulty and rewards, mainly prestige based auto scaling. This might force players to chase prestige champ which one wouldn't rank up otherwise, let's see how it ends up in real time before judging. Atleast it's not bad on paper unlike the blacklisting on bgs.

That’s what they’re doing

Literally none of those were AUTO scaled. They were made manually. This is out first time seeing auto-scaled rewards besides AQ

SirGamesBond

How much prestige I need is what I need to know before it launches.
I kinda suck.... all my rankups are unduped or low sigs.

JESUSCHRIST

Could be great for weaker players like newer valiants since the difficulty will scale appropriately for them

Herbal_Taxman

This paranoia is way over blown…

I wish LOL after this autoscale with pi announcement
Unfortunately valiant with well developed roster

Kabam Crashed

Defender stats and rewards scale with Prestige. Nodes and rewards scale with progression. So all Valiant players will have the same nodes on their fights. The stronger their rosters, the higher the defender health pools and the better the rewards.

BigBlueOx

I’m curious on how this will impact unit farming lower level EQ. Will those units be distributed evenly across the two difficulties or will they disappear?

To me the black listing is intertwined into this… we are being told that too many of us like the same champs in BGs but the design direction in EQ is going to result in further homogeneous rank ups in the community as we are being directly encouraged to rank up high prestiege options

Gone. Reduced to atoms.

Most of them are being moved to daily quests as part of the daily quest overhaul. Some will remain in the EQ.

Interesting, if they get moved to a daily quest that sounds like a potential to earn even more?

Thanks for shedding some light on the matter mate, sounds great at this point in time

I am just spitballin, trying to guess whether it's gonna be a upscale or downscale

Assuming current valiant eq defender stats and rewards as a proportional scale benchmark, what would be the appropriate prestige scaled for these😜
